It is important to verify your current provider is in-network when selecting an HMO Plan Option. If you have remaining well-being incentive credits in your current BCBSGaMyIncentive Account (MIA) or UnitedHealthcare Health Incentive Account (HIA), those credits will roll over to the Plan Option and/or vendor you select during AE.

Also, you may qualify for a Health Savings Account (HSA) to set aside tax-free dollars to pay for eligible health care expenses. If you have remaining well-being incentive credits in your current HIA wellness account, those credits will roll over to the Plan Option and/or vendor you select during AE.
